The violent death which came
to Robin J. Cooper, the slayer of
Senator Carmack of Tennessee,
seems a fitting denouement to one
of the saddest tragedies that ever
disgraced the fair escutcheon of

live. Indeed, a terrible retribu
tion.
Walt Whitman comes to the
front with a prosaic telling about
his conversion by the Salvation
Army, and gives it as the reason
why the American people should
give the Salvationists an bundled
million dollars. At that rate
Walt’s conversion would come pret
ty high to the American people;
but, guess he thinks they have
“more money than brains" and are
willing to throw it awav on almost
any sort of thing with the hallelu
jah lick” to it.
The first issue of Cordele Daily
Sentinel comes to the Tribune in
booster form of 24-pages. The
regular issues will be eight 6-col

optimistically edited, and baa a
good show for success. It is own
ed by a stock company but
published by Herring, Chastain &
Drown. It reflects the fact that
the business men of Cordele real
izes the iniiuenee of a good news
paper over a community and its
tremendous power for upbuilding
business as well as the growth of a
city, and have eagerly put their
financial backing behind it, “hold
ing up the hands” of t he publishers.
The example is a good one for any
city and community.

HOTCH-POTCH.
The. weather Tuesday morning
was a gent le minder that Autumn
is approaching
Mr. Cal vi 11 Mu nay, of Mill wood*
and Miss Jessie James, of Manor,
were quietly married a few days
since.
Jim Cochrane was in the city
from Douglas last Wednesday.
Jim says: “They slio going to
pave some of t hem I >ouglas street."
.Secretary McLendon granted the
chai ter of the Clinch County Bank
last Tuesday, and it will open for
business Monday, Seplemper 15tb.
Mr. J. C. .McMillan has secured
offices iii the I’afford building and
will open a live real estate business
Delias connections abroad that
enables him to give good service in
the purehasc and sale of real estate.
The protracted meeting at the
Methodist church is still in pro
gross, and Dr. Mingledorff is preach
ing to large congregations, that
seems to lie very much interested.
The meeting will probably close
Sunday night.
The Willacoochee high school
opened last Monday with a coni
ploto corps of teachers. Prof.
Frank P. Warren is the principal
teacher. The matriculants num
ber one hundred and fifty, and is
expected to reach two hundred.
The Tribune calls attention
specially to the large advertise
meat of “Tifton Chamber of Com
merce.” The suggestion is a good
one: If you can't get wliat you
want at home, then try Tifton's
wide-awake merchants who believe
in the efficacy of “Printer's Ink
to draw trade.
Andrew Carnegie's will provid
ed annuities —to Kx President
Taft, *10,000; to Mrs. Grover Clove
land, $5,000; to Mrs Theodore
Roosevelt, $5,000: to jVm. Lloyd
George, SIO,OOO. Tluissaith tin
scriptures: “For he that hath to
him shall bo given and tic that
hath not, from him shall be taken
even that which he hath.” The
class of people who made it possi
able for him to amass his colossal
fortune was not remembered so for
as is known. These annuities go
to people who do not need them.
Under the caption “Light < 'ham
beys Courts" the Valdosta l imes
remarks that “With the creation
of the new Alapaha circuit, the
business in chambers courts before
Judge Thomas is much lighter
t han formerly. The records of the
courts will probably show that
more business of that kind has
come from Berrien and Cook conn
ties than from all the other conn
ties of theeireuil, ooipbitied, though
these counties were not the most
prolific of other kinds of business."
The Times man should remember
that comparisons are sometimes
odious, and most of the time have
a “kick’’ in t hem.
Tin* editorial appearing iu the
Coffee County Progress, entitled
“The Packers," don’t care who
wrote it, states the question,
“Packers vs. People," just as the
Tribune sees it. The world lias
grown intensely selfish; the thrift
less are at enmity with the tlirif
ty. The malcontents haven't sense
enough to accomplish great things
and too proud or lazy to be con
tent with accomplishing the small
things of life, notwithstanding
He who rules the destiny of the
world has promised us that if
“Faithful over a few things, 1 will
| make thee ruler over many things."
Jealousy js a great tyrant and the
| confusion and strife it engenders
; makes the miserable. Let us be
1 true to ourselves, attend carefully
to our little jobs and we will nat
urally' grow into bigger ones, we'll
"become healthy, wealthy and wise.
